This summary outlines the current water supply situation in District 40 amidst ongoing drought conditions. With Folsom Lake's water levels representing only two-thirds of the normal supply, proactive measures such as groundwater banking and conservation programs are being emphasized. The projected water demand for 2014 stands at 55,100 AF, leading to a potential deficit. Strategies to meet this demand will include purchasing dry year water and implementing mandatory conservation measures. Outreach initiatives aim to promote water-saving practices and engage the community in conservation efforts.
